The ever-popular "Currently Listening" thread

Alright, I'll compromise a bit. Gazing doesn't have to be pretty and delicate. It can rock out, too. Enjoy.

More on Gentle Giant. One thing that's typical of their music is that there is a lot of things going on. Instruments playing sometimes very different lines at the same time. Same applies to vocals.

PS. An even better example of this apect of their music is the following live versions of the song Experience from In A Glass House and a few tracks from their album Octopus:

Flyying Colours released their latest LP about a month ago. Haven't given it enough listens end to end yet to give a proper review, but the lead single is really catchy. Enjoy.
